<td align="left" headers="r3c1-t3 r1c2-t3">Specifies the classes for which the action will be created. This is normally one of your own business objects. However, optionally, you can also include one or more of the following, which creates the action for all classes that subclass them:
<ul>
<li>DataObject</li>
<li>EditCookie</li>
<li>EditorCookie</li>
<li>OpenCookie</li>
<li>Project</li>
<li>User Selects One Node</li>
<li>User May Select Multiple Nodes. Specifies the conditions under which the action will be enabled. By default, the action will only be enabled when the node for which it is created is selected. If you select User May Select Multiple Nodes, the action will also be enabled when more nodes than just the node for which it is created is selected.</li>
